Mehbooba Mufti who is the chief of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has again raised doubts over an encounter that took place in Srinagar’s Rambagh area, Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police Dilbag Singh on Thursday (November 25).
The DG J&K Police said some people have started considering killers as innocent people. Singh said, “There are people who understand the reality but try to say something which is away from reality. There are people who have started looking at killers as innocent people,”.
Three terrorists were killed in the encounter on Wednesday including a top commander of The Resistance Force (TRF) and immediately Mehbooba Mufti started creating doubt about the encounter that took place on Wednesday.
According to the police, the Islamic Jihadist terrorists who were neutralised were terrorist commanders of banned Pakistan based Islamic terror group the Lashkar e Taiba (LeT-TRF) Mehran Yaseen Shalla, a resident of Jamalatta Srinagar, Manzoor Ahmad Mir, a resident of Babhar Pulwama, and Arafat Ahmad Sheikh, a resident of Nikloora Pulwama.
As per the police records, the terrorists that were killed by the security forces were linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (TRF) and were part of the group that was involved in several terror crime cases including attacks on security forces and civilian atrocities.
However, the former chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir had alleged that the official version was “far from truth” and not in line with “ground realities”. She was referring to the Hyderpora encounter in which two people were killed, Mufti said that “legitimate doubts are looming” over the authenticity of the Rambagh encounter.
“After yesterday’s alleged encounter at Rambagh legitimate doubts are looming over its authenticity. As per reports & witnesses, it seems that the firing was one-sided. Again the official version far from the truth is not in line with ground realities as seen in Shopian, HMT & Hyderpora,” Mufti tweeted.
